Capabilities
Aluminum die casting and CNC machining through one connected route.
Because each production decision affects the next operation, our team reviews part geometry, tooling, casting, machining, finish and inspection as one system. Consequently, this connected review creates a clearer quotation and a more predictable production path.
Mold design & tooling
Before the die is cut, we develop mold layout, feed and venting strategy, cooling, ejection and first-article planning around the part and volume.
Explore tooling →
Aluminum die casting
After engineering review and sample approval, production moves to controlled high-pressure die casting with parameters matched to the approved part.
Review die casting →
Precision CNC machining
For tight features and finishes, turning, milling, boring, grinding and wire EDM support stable fixtures and repeatable operations.
View CNC machining →
Inspection & validation
During validation, first-article inspection, dimensional checks and documented quality controls verify the complete production route.
See quality control →
Engineering & DFM
Through drawing review, we identify draft, wall thickness, parting-line, machining stock and inspection questions before tooling begins.
Plan your part →
Finishing & delivery
Finally, machining, surface treatment, packing and international shipment are coordinated against the approved production plan.
Plan a project →Engineering decisions
Resolve manufacturing questions before they become production costs.
An aluminum die casting quote becomes useful when its assumptions are visible. Therefore, we review the part, annual demand and downstream operation together, so the chosen tooling and process reflect the real application.
Send the files you have. The engineering team can identify missing inputs during the review.
When the drawing is incomplete, we highlight the missing decisions instead of forcing an early quote. For example, quantity, material and sealing requirements may change the recommended process.
Following the review, the project team can confirm which questions need a design change and which can be handled in tooling. Consequently, the buyer receives a clearer basis for approval.

Working together
A clear aluminum die casting route from drawing review to production.
Throughout the project, engineering, tooling, sampling and production decisions stay connected. As a result, questions are resolved at the stage where they can still be managed efficiently.
Drawing review
First, share CAD files, 2D drawings, material, quantity and target delivery. Then we review the production intent.
Tooling plan
Next, confirm DFM points, mold design, process route, sampling method and commercial assumptions.
Sample approval
After that, build the mold, cast samples and inspect critical requirements against the controlled drawing.
Repeat production
Finally, run casting, machining, finishing, inspection, packing and delivery under the approved plan.
Built for repeatabilityProcess control starts with the drawing.
Quality control
Quality control for aluminum die casting begins with the drawing.
Quality planning connects tooling, casting, machining and inspection. Before production, the approved plan defines what will be measured, how it will be verified and when production can move forward. Additionally, our process follows applicable IATF 16949 principles for production control.
- Engineering and DFM review before tooling
- First-article sampling and approval
- In-process dimensional and visual checks
- Defined packing and delivery requirements

Materials & finishes
Choose an aluminum die casting material for the application.
Depending on the application, common die-casting alloys can deliver different combinations of strength, castability, thermal performance and surface quality. Ultimately, the final alloy and finish should follow the drawing, environment and validation plan. By comparing these requirements early, you can reduce unnecessary process changes later.
However, material selection should also reflect the actual environment. Where corrosion or electrical conductivity matters, the finish and assembly design need the same review as the alloy.

Buyer FAQ
Questions about aluminum die casting before you send a drawing?
Start with the files available. Missing information can be clarified during the engineering review.
What files should I upload for an aluminum die casting quote?
A three-dimensional STEP or IGES model is preferred for geometry. One additional input is a PDF, DXF or DWG drawing when tolerances, finishes, threads, sealing surfaces or inspection requirements are critical. A ZIP file can be used for a larger drawing package.
Can HIQ Precision support both sampling and repeat production?
Yes. We support tooling and first-article sampling through repeat aluminum die casting and CNC finishing. Because mold design depends on demand, include the prototype quantity and expected annual volume so the team can review both together. However, a sample that does not represent the planned process may hide a production risk. Therefore, approve the complete route whenever practical.
Can you machine die castings and deliver finished parts?
Yes. Mold design, die casting, CNC machining, finishing and inspection can stay under one project plan. As a result, datums, machining stock and quality requirements remain aligned. Before release, each operation follows the agreed inspection and packing requirements.
How does the quotation process work?
We review the drawing and production information first. If the manufacturing route is clear, we prepare a quotation. However, if key requirements are missing, the engineering team follows up before pricing the project.
Are my drawings kept confidential?
Drawings are used only to evaluate and respond to your manufacturing inquiry. Moreover, they are not shared for unrelated marketing purposes. We can review an NDA request when required.
Custom aluminum die casting from concept to serial production
Aluminum die casting is more than a price per kilogram. Specifically, alloy choice, part geometry, die layout, machining allowance, surface finish and inspection all influence cost and repeatability. Each review compares the drawing and demand before confirming the manufacturing route.
When starting a new part, the process begins with DFM analysis and mold planning. Following tooling and first-article approval, production can move into repeat casting, precision CNC machining, finishing and delivery. However, any drawing revision should be reviewed before those production steps begin.
One partner for tooling, casting and CNC machining
Working with one production team reduces the gaps between the casting supplier, machinist and quality function. We also keep requirements traceable through the process and follow recognized automotive quality principles where applicable. Beyond this overview, review the North American Die Casting Association.
Send a STEP model, a controlled PDF drawing, target quantity and delivery date through the form above. If a file cannot be uploaded, email it to project@pgpme.com. We will review the part and recommend the next manufacturing step.
Before production, confirm that the model and drawing use the same revision. If the design changes later, request an updated tooling and machining review. Although a small change may look simple, it can affect an existing mold or fixture. After approval, keep the changed revision visible in the production record.
During repeat production, keep inspection and packaging requirements with the approved process plan. Therefore, every shipment can follow the same technical and commercial baseline.
